Oil prices rose after Saudi Arabia shut the East-West pipeline—damaged by drones from Iraq—removing a major bypass around the Strait of Hormuz. WTI climbed to about $102.87 a barrel and Brent to about $107.87, reflecting tighter supply as tensions in the region persist, a Gulf meeting was postponed, and another tanker attack kept market anxiety elevated.
